Bad joke. Those dead tourists are overconfident individuals, who tried to do it alone. On the other hand, Sherpas, who organize expeditions nowadays are very well trained and coordinated. There are many of them who have ascended more than 5 times as poters or guides, while there is one person who did it 14 times. It is just a job for Sherpas.

According to official statements, around 500 people, including about 300 tourists ascended mt.Everest last year, in a short 15 April - 10 May window.

Nowadays even local pop stars were managed to get to the top. Sherpas are doing great job and raised the safity livel to unimaginable heights.
